Normalised Difference Vegetation Index Statistics 1999-2017 (raster 1 km), global, 10-daily - version 2

The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a proxy to quantify the vegetation amount. It is defined as NDVI=(NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red) where NIR corresponds to the reflectance in the near infrared band, and Red to the reflectance in the red band. The time series of dekadal (10-daily) NDVI 1km version 2 observations over the period 1999-2017 is used to calculate Long Term Statistics (LTS) for each of the 36 10-daily periods (dekads) of the year. The calculated LTS include the minimum, median, maximum, average, standard deviation and the number of observations in the covered time series period. These LTS can be used as a reference for actual NDVI observations, which allows evaluating whether vegetation conditions deviate from a ‘normal’ situation.

Purpose

This product is first designed to fit the requirements of the Global component of Land Service of the Copernicus programme. It can be also useful for all applications related to the environment monitoring.

Credit

NDVI-LTS products were generated by the Global component of the Land Service of Copernicus, the Earth Observation programme of the European Commission. The research leading to the current version of the product has received funding from various European Commission Research and Technical Development programs. The product is based on VEGETATION data provided by CNES and PROBA-V data provided by ESA, both distributed by VITO NV.

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.



The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013.



Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that:



1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services.



2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this.



3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

Statement

The input data are the 10-daily NDVI products, at 1km resolution, measured by the SPOT-VEGETATION and PROBA-V sensors, for the reference period 1999-2017. From the time series of valid NDVI observations, a set of Long Term Statistics are calculated, one per dekad (10-daily period) of the year. Sea pixels are specifically masked.
